Oregon Envirothon

Teams of five students participate in this hands-on environmental problem-solving competition. Teams complete training and testing in five categories – aquatic ecology, forest ecology, wildlife ecology, soils and land use – and one current environmental issue. Winning teams may advance to the National Envirothon event and compete for recognition, scholarships and prizes. Professional development for instructors, student field trips, training sessions and study equipment are available to prepare teams for the competition.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: We have made the decision to modify Oregon Envirothon for 2020, as a commitment to the health of participants and based on recommendations by health officials. The in-person event hosted on May 1 at the Oregon Garden will be canceled. Oregon Envirothon will be modified to an online event. We will move forward with the Current Issue video submission, with an extended deadline of May 8, 2020. We will add an online testing component that student teams will have a designated time period to complete by May 8. The testing information will be sent, once schools have resumed in Oregon. Any student submitting a video and/or test will receive the “limited edition” Oregon Envirothon 2020 t-shirt. Teams will also be eligible to compete for awards (plaques) for the top award categories for video, test and combined scores. Awards will be announced and sent directly to schools in May. More information and guidelines will be coming in the next few weeks. We understand this is a time period with a lot of uncertainty. We will continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments as necessary. Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Julie at woodward@ofri.org.
